Cheap Flights to Lelystad from HK$2,559

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Lelystad escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Lelystad easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
