Cheap Flights to Rio Tercero from HK$1,025

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Rio Tercero. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Rio Tercero, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
