Cheap Flights to El Mojon from HK$312

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your El Mojon holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to El Mojon a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a 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, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
