Cheap Flights to Galindo from HK$1,400

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Galindo holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Galindo a breeze. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
