Cheap Flights to Cajamarca from HK$453

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Cajamarca holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Cajamarca, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger 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 luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
