Cheap Flights to Lessoc from HK$4,628

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Lessoc. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put 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 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lessoc in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
