Cheap Flights to Taguatinga from HK$332

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Taguatinga escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs 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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Taguatinga quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
