Cheap Flights to Becket from HK$3,124

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Becket. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

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

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
