Cheap Flights to Bunsbeek from HK$2,527

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Bunsbeek escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bunsbeek before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
