Cheap Flights to Dinant from HK$787

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Dinant.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks can also help.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Dinant a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
