Cheap Flights to Maletto from HK$343

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Maletto could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Maletto, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
