Cheap Flights to Huaraz from HK$538

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Huaraz in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Huaraz a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind 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.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
