Cheap Flights to Lake Mary from HK$824

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Lake Mary. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lake Mary in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
