Cheap Flights to São Bartolomeu da Serra from HK$337

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in São Bartolomeu da Serra.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out São Bartolomeu da Serra, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
