Cheap Flights to Loures from HK$225

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Loures.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The answer is --- be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Loures, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
