Cheap Flights to Bentwisch from HK$3,029

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Bentwisch. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to chuck 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 air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bentwisch in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
