Cheap Flights to Tigre from HK$2,598

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Tigre. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Tigre a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
