Cheap Flights to Joaquin Suarez from HK$1,274

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Joaquin Suarez escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Joaquin Suarez, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• 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.
