Cheap Flights to Cobija from HK$1,268

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cobija could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Cobija a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
