Cheap Flights to Corozal from HK$1,580

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Corozal holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Corozal in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
