Cheap Flights to Punta Hansa from HK$1,945

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Punta Hansa could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Punta Hansa quick and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
