Cheap Flights to Lagun from HK$3,695

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Lagun holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lagun in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you 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.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
