Cheap Flights to Beverly Hills from HK$400

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your time in Beverly Hills.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Beverly Hills in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
