Cheap Flights to San Bartolo from HK$343

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your time in San Bartolo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to San Bartolo before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
