Cheap Flights to Lawton from HK$2,651

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lawton could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Lawton, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? 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, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• 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.
