Cheap Flights to Rincon de Romos from HK$3,613

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Rincon de Romos escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Rincon de Romos, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
