Cheap Flights to Izamal from HK$576

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Izamal in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Izamal quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
