Cheap Flights to Lama from HK$3,974

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Lama in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Lama, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
