Cheap Flights to Belen de Escobar from HK$420

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Belen de Escobar holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Belen de Escobar, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
