Cheap Flights to Berge from HK$342

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Berge could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Berge in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
