Cheap Flights to Belmont from HK$1,525

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Belmont vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Belmont quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
