Cheap Flights to Saligao from HK$210

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Saligao escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Saligao in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
