Cheap Flights to Flanders from HK$964

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Flanders in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Flanders in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
