Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mui Wo could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Mui Wo, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
