Cheap Flights to Billig from HK$1,004

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Billig escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Billig, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
