Cheap Flights to La Crescenta from HK$3,116

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of La Crescenta in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to La Crescenta in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or 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, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
