Cheap Flights to Praia Grande from HK$420

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Praia Grande vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Praia Grande easy and painless. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
