Cheap Flights to Rio Bonito from HK$244

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rio Bonito could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Rio Bonito a piece of cake. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy 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 in your checked suitcase.
