Cheap Flights to Dolores from HK$279

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Dolores escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Dolores a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• 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 the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
