Cheap Flights to Beecher from HK$778

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Beecher holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Beecher a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
