Cheap Flights to Lingua from HK$140

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Lingua.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.
