Cheap Flights to Ponte Caldelas from HK$3,585

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Ponte Caldelas in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, 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. Wear layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ponte Caldelas in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
