Cheap Flights to Budaiya from HK$398

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Budaiya could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Budaiya before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
