Cheap Flights to Corozal from HK$2,013

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Corozal. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, 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 airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Corozal, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
