Cheap Flights to Metter from HK$466

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Metter escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Metter a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
