Cheap Flights to Betty's Bay from HK$725

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Betty's Bay could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Betty's Bay in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
