Cheap Flights to Marmagao from HK$272

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and seeing the best of Marmagao before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant 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 or pointed objects hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Marmagao a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
