Cheap Flights to Lula from HK$540

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lula could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Lula, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
