Cheap Flights to Wateringen from HK$331

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Wateringen escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Wateringen a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. 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 inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
