Cheap Flights to Barrancabermeja from HK$1,284

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Barrancabermeja could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Watch out Barrancabermeja, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
