Cheap Flights to Lisse from HK$423

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Lisse escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lisse in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
