Cheap Flights to Berkane from HK$1,301

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your holiday in Berkane. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Berkane in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
