Cheap Flights to Nogales from HK$9,251

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Nogales could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Nogales in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
