Cheap Flights to Tibiritá from HK$7,303

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Tibiritá.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Tibiritá a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
