Cheap Flights to Lodares from HK$2,003

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lodares could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Lodares a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
