Cheap Flights to Marina di Varcaturo from HK$431

If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Marina di Varcaturo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Marina di Varcaturo in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
