Cheap Flights to Natal from HK$855

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Natal could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

The answer is simple --- be organized. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Natal, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
