Cheap Flights to Tula de Allende from HK$1,217

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Tula de Allende escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Tula de Allende, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
