Cheap Flights to Pedrógão Grande from HK$271

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pedrogao Grande could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pedrogao Grande before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
