Cheap Flights to Casilda from HK$1,669

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Casilda could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Casilda, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
