Cheap Flights to Beaulieu from HK$342

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Beaulieu.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Beaulieu a piece of cake. Below are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne? 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're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
