Cheap Flights to Wavrin from HK$1,196

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Wavrin.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Wavrin in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
