Cheap Flights to Jaguarao from HK$8,730

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

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Jaguarao, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be 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 chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
