Cheap Flights to Playas Novillero from HK$3,287

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Playas Novillero holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, 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:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Playas Novillero quick and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
