Cheap Flights to Hayden Lake from HK$573

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hayden Lake could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Hayden Lake easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
