Cheap Flights to Aljubarrota from HK$224

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Aljubarrota vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Aljubarrota a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
