Cheap Flights to Maiano from HK$1,433

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Maiano. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, 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 choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Maiano, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• 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). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
