Cheap Flights to Pontejos from HK$4,417

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Pontejos in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pontejos before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? 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 OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
