Cheap Flights to Ly Son from HK$436

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Ly Son escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ly Son in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your 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 before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
