Cheap Flights to Brussa from HK$649

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Brussa could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Brussa, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
