Cheap Flights to Jutiapa from HK$807

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Jutiapa escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take 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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Jutiapa quick and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
