Cheap Flights to Little Bentley from HK$271

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Little Bentley. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Little Bentley easy and painless. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
