Cheap Flights to La Grange from HK$2,324

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to La Grange could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to La Grange easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
