Cheap Flights to Derio from HK$290

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Derio holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, 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. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Derio easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
