Cheap Flights to Lauro de Freitas from HK$7,597

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lauro de Freitas could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Lauro de Freitas a breeze. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
