Cheap Flights to Necoclí from HK$1,401

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Necoclí could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Necoclí a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
