Cheap Flights to Kimberley from HK$5,339

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your vacation in Kimberley.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

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 things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and take a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Kimberley a pleasure. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
