Cheap Flights to Mairinque from HK$711

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

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Mairinque a breeze. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
