Cheap Flights to Viveiro from HK$2,741

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Viveiro could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Viveiro a breeze. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
