Cheap Flights to Lowbanks from HK$505

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lowbanks could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Lowbanks, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No 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, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
