Cheap Flights to Esquel from HK$847

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Esquel could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Esquel, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
