Cheap Flights to Balegem from HK$495

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Balegem before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Balegem easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
