Cheap Flights to Sao Leopoldo from HK$369

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Sao Leopoldo vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Sao Leopoldo, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
