Cheap Flights to Bellavista from HK$1,042

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bellavista could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Bellavista a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
