Cheap Flights to Candeias from HK$842

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Candeias escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Candeias, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
