Cheap Flights to Lane from HK$1,144

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your getaway in Lane.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Lane a piece of cake. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. 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.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
