Cheap Flights to Araras from HK$3,002

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Araras.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Araras a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
