Cheap Flights to Merleac from HK$357

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Merleac.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks can also help.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Merleac, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices 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.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
