Cheap Flights to Beli from HK$2,534

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Beli holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Beli, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
