Cheap Flights to Tirksliai from HK$4,853

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Tirksliai.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tirksliai in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• 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 like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
