Cheap Flights to Imbassaí from HK$3,562

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

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Imbassaí in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
