Cheap Flights to Allariz from HK$931

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Allariz escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Allariz a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
