Cheap Flights to Medina from HK$1,761

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Medina in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Medina a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
