Cheap Flights to San Roque from HK$1,236

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to San Roque could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to San Roque a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
