Cheap Flights to Massouri from HK$897

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Massouri escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Massouri in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• 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.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• 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 clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
