Cheap Flights to Mui Wo from HK$454

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Mui Wo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Mui Wo, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
