Cheap Flights to El Pedroso from HK$309

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of El Pedroso in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to El Pedroso easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
