Cheap Flights to Menggala from HK$219

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Menggala escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Menggala in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
