Cheap Flights to Beit Hillel from HK$1,098

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Beit Hillel escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Beit Hillel easy and painless. Below are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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 valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
