Cheap Flights to Lisbon District from HK$313

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Lisbon District in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Lisbon District quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
