Cheap Flights to Tegucigalpa from HK$5,155

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tegucigalpa could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Tegucigalpa, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
