Cheap Flights to Bojacá from HK$209

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Bojacá escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Bojacá a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new 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-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
