Cheap Flights to Toluca from HK$550

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Toluca before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Toluca a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
