Cheap Flights to Sesimbra from HK$271

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Sesimbra vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Sesimbra a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
