Cheap Flights to Itajai from HK$649

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Itajai.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Itajai in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
