Cheap Flights to San Juan Cosala from HK$978

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your San Juan Cosala escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San Juan Cosala in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
