Cheap Flights to Aguilera from HK$3,028

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Aguilera. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave 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 your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Aguilera easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
