Cheap Flights to Klaipeda from HK$5,904

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Klaipeda escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Klaipeda, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
