Cheap Flights to Lanark from HK$4,370

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Lanark. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lanark in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
