Cheap Flights to Viana do Alentejo from HK$211

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Viana do Alentejo could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below 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:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Viana do Alentejo a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
