Cheap Flights to Calakmul from HK$982

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Calakmul could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Calakmul in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• 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.
