Cheap Flights to Lake Cormorant from HK$3,503

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lake Cormorant could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Lake Cormorant, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
