Cheap Flights to Laurelville from HK$3,909

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Laurelville escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Laurelville a pleasure. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
