Cheap Flights to Hengoed from HK$434

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Hengoed before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Hengoed before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
