Cheap Flights to Santa Ines from HK$239

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Santa Ines could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Santa Ines, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
