Cheap Flights to El Dorado Springs from HK$6,719

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your El Dorado Springs escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and take a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to El Dorado Springs quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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 on board and will be confiscated.
