Cheap Flights to La Porte from HK$8,133

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to La Porte could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The secret is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to La Porte in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
