Cheap Flights to Cururupu from HK$663

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Cururupu holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Cururupu quick and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
