Cheap Flights to Ceiba from HK$658

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Ceiba escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ceiba in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
