Cheap Flights to La Luisiana from HK$358

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your La Luisiana escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to La Luisiana a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
