Cheap Flights to Lockerbie from HK$418

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Lockerbie.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

The secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Lockerbie in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
