Cheap Flights to El Zepo from HK$2,396

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to El Zepo could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out El Zepo, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
