Cheap Flights to Berrechid from HK$1,180

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Berrechid.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Berrechid, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, 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.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
