Cheap Flights to Avellaneda from HK$554

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Avellaneda. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Avellaneda a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
