Cheap Flights to Lins from HK$6,684

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Lins vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lins in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
