Cheap Flights to Blackbutt from HK$424

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Blackbutt.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Blackbutt quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
