Cheap Flights to Samora Correia from HK$176

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Samora Correia could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Samora Correia a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
