Cheap Flights to Balestrate from HK$377

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Balestrate could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Balestrate in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
