Cheap Flights to Menifee from HK$1,273

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in Menifee. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, 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 an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Menifee in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
