Cheap Flights to Cassano Spinola from HK$1,481

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Cassano Spinola holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Cassano Spinola, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need 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 in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
