Cheap Flights to Vila Nova de Foz Coa from HK$309

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in Vila Nova de Foz Coa.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a good idea.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Vila Nova de Foz Coa easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart 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.
