Cheap Flights to Liloan from HK$159

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Liloan. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Liloan, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
