Cheap Flights to La Gi from HK$436

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your La Gi holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out La Gi, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
