Cheap Flights to Presidente Figueiredo from HK$1,370

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will get your Presidente Figueiredo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Presidente Figueiredo in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
