Cheap Flights to Megido from HK$325

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Megido holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Megido quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
