Cheap Flights to Lochem from HK$479

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Lochem could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lochem in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
