Cheap Flights to Benedict from HK$1,091

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Benedict could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Benedict easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
