Cheap Flights to Hoek van Holland from HK$441

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hoek van Holland could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hoek van Holland in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
