Cheap Flights to Benahavis from HK$311

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Benahavis. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Benahavis in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
