Cheap Flights to Herzliya from HK$545

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Herzliya in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

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

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Herzliya, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
