Cheap Flights to Portmore from HK$1,316

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Portmore could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Portmore, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
