Cheap Flights to Loco from HK$507

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Loco could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Loco in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
