Cheap Flights to Bisento from HK$2,558

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your holiday in Bisento. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Bisento easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
