Cheap Flights to Hatillo from HK$845

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will help get your Hatillo escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hatillo in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
