Cheap Flights to Larkspur from HK$542

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Larkspur in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Larkspur in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
