Cheap Flights to Bivona from HK$374

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Bivona holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, 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 aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Bivona a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
