Cheap Flights to Tilcara from HK$12,868

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Tilcara holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Tilcara in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove 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 inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
