Cheap Flights to Mesa Chorio from HK$781

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mesa Chorio could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged 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 promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mesa Chorio in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
