Cheap Flights to Zihuatanejo from HK$879

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Zihuatanejo in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Zihuatanejo a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers 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, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
