Cheap Flights to Lastovo from HK$321

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lastovo could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Lastovo a breeze. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
