Cheap Flights to Lohja from HK$359

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Lohja. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Lohja, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
