Cheap Flights to Playa Grande from HK$5,384

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a blast in Playa Grande in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Playa Grande, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
