Cheap Flights to Lamy from HK$3,089

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Lamy holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lamy in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
