Cheap Flights to Prata from HK$852

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and exploring Prata in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Prata before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
