Cheap Flights to Guarapari from HK$1,587

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Guarapari before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Guarapari in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
