Cheap Flights to San Martin de la Vega from HK$845

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your San Martin de la Vega vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to San Martin de la Vega a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
