Cheap Flights to Ben Guerir from HK$400

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Ben Guerir holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ben Guerir in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a 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. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
