Cheap Flights to Apaseo el Alto from HK$8,309

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Apaseo el Alto holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Apaseo el Alto easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
