Cheap Flights to Malgrate from HK$301

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Malgrate could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Malgrate before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
