Cheap Flights to Barssel from HK$4,352

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Barssel in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Barssel a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
