Cheap Flights to Brasilito from HK$1,160

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Brasilito escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, 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 hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Brasilito easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
