Cheap Flights to Abrantes from HK$504

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Abrantes escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Abrantes, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
