Cheap Flights to Melano from HK$7,368

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Melano could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more 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. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Melano easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
