Cheap Flights to O Pino from HK$1,565

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your O Pino holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

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

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to O Pino a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, 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 as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
