Cheap Flights to La Joya from HK$6,521

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your La Joya escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to La Joya easy and painless. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, 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 arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
