Cheap Flights to Cuetzalan del Progreso from HK$16,308

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your time in Cuetzalan del Progreso. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cuetzalan del Progreso in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item 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.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
