Cheap Flights to Lacrosse from HK$4,206

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lacrosse could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Lacrosse easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
