Cheap Flights to Ituporanga from HK$471

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Ituporanga. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ituporanga in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
