Cheap Flights to Laxe from HK$1,586

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Laxe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Laxe in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
