Cheap Flights to Colico from HK$345

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Colico could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Colico in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
