Cheap Flights to Belmar from HK$498

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Belmar could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged 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.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Belmar, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
