Cheap Flights to Cabedelo from HK$1,289

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your time in Cabedelo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cabedelo in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
