Cheap Flights to Betera from HK$185

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Betera. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Betera quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
