Cheap Flights to Calibío from HK$537

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Calibío escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Calibío a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
