Cheap Flights to Chalco de Diaz Covarrubias from HK$1,406

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Chalco de Diaz Covarrubias. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach 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:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chalco de Diaz Covarrubias in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
