Cheap Flights to Oud-Turnhout from HK$1,148

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your vacation in Oud-Turnhout.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Oud-Turnhout, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
