Cheap Flights to Malpas from HK$2,175

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your holiday in Malpas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Malpas quick and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
