Cheap Flights to Bianzano from HK$1,083

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Bianzano.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bianzano in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight 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 and will be confiscated.
