Cheap Flights to Monte Mor from HK$429

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Monte Mor could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Monte Mor in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
