Cheap Flights to Ciudad Serdán from HK$18,364

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ciudad Serdán could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ciudad Serdán in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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 several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
