Cheap Flights to Santa Maria de Trassierra from HK$481

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Santa Maria de Trassierra could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Santa Maria de Trassierra easy and painless. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
