Cheap Flights to Tiai Mo from HK$436

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Tiai Mo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Tiai Mo, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra 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.
