Cheap Flights to Baca Grande from HK$2,512

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Baca Grande holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Baca Grande a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
