Cheap Flights to Lusia from HK$946

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Lusia in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lusia in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
