Cheap Flights to Lanas from HK$343

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lanas could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Lanas quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
