Cheap Flights to Niteroi from HK$241

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Niteroi escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Niteroi, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
