Cheap Flights to Lindos from HK$690

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lindos could be a breeze or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Lindos, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets 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 before you know it.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
