Cheap Flights to La Fallita from HK$302

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your La Fallita escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to La Fallita in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
