Cheap Flights to Lustica from HK$986

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lustica could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lustica in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
