Cheap Flights to Lakeside from HK$2,132

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lakeside could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lakeside in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
