Cheap Flights to El Sauzal from HK$6,041

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your El Sauzal holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to El Sauzal a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? 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-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
