Cheap Flights to Lagoon Pocket from HK$749

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lagoon Pocket could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lagoon Pocket in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
