Cheap Flights to Arroyo Cruz from HK$1,401

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Arroyo Cruz escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Arroyo Cruz in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
