Cheap Flights to El Monteon from HK$2,005

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your time in El Monteon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a cardigan in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to El Monteon a pleasure. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
