Cheap Flights to Costa del Este from HK$4,584

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Costa del Este could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a quality 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 luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Costa del Este before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
