Cheap Flights to Callao from HK$4,087

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Callao in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Callao, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
