Cheap Flights to Lake Huntington from HK$3,103

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

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Lake Huntington easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be 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 X-rayed separately. Lightweight 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
