Cheap Flights to Lake Wales from HK$464

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lake Wales could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Lake Wales a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes 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 or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
