Cheap Flights to Río Luján from HK$885

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Río Luján holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. 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 all about being organised. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Río Luján, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
