Cheap Flights to Best from HK$415

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Best escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel 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 treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Best quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
