Cheap Flights to Kestert from HK$650

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your Kestert escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Kestert a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
