Cheap Flights to Bagolino from HK$179

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bagolino could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bagolino before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
