Cheap Flights to Amadores from HK$363

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Amadores could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Amadores easy and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
