Cheap Flights to Santa Marta de Penaguião from HK$292

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Santa Marta de Penaguião holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Santa Marta de Penaguião easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
