Cheap Flights to Punta Prima from HK$539

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Punta Prima in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Punta Prima a breeze. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• 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 no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
