Cheap Flights to Kima Bajo from HK$1,272

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Kima Bajo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Kima Bajo a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
