Cheap Flights to Cochise from HK$1,480

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cochise could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Cochise in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
