Cheap Flights to Teotihuacan from HK$766

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Teotihuacan escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel 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:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Teotihuacan, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
