Cheap Flights to Canelones from HK$1,375

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Canelones vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Canelones, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
