Cheap Flights to Baldim from HK$373

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Baldim escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Baldim a breeze. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
