Cheap Flights to Benito Juárez from HK$5,899

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Benito Juárez could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Benito Juárez a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remember 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 in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
