Cheap Flights to Weslaco from HK$8,141

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Weslaco escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Weslaco a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
