Cheap Flights to Ladner from HK$369

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ladner could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ladner in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
