Cheap Flights to Guateque from HK$1,542

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Guateque in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Guateque before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
