Cheap Flights to Marine City from HK$1,942

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Marine City holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Marine City a breeze. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
