Cheap Flights to Belm from HK$5,282

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Belm escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare 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 to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Belm, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
