Cheap Flights to Oceano from HK$1,832

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your holiday in Oceano. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Oceano, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
