Cheap Flights to Cutigliano from HK$389

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your holiday in Cutigliano. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Cutigliano quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
