Cheap Flights to Deka Lake from HK$1,062

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Deka Lake escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Deka Lake easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
