Cheap Flights to Santa Maria de Ordas from HK$8,142

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Santa Maria de Ordas vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring 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 of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Santa Maria de Ordas, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
