Cheap Flights to Montedinove from HK$11,060

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Montedinove holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy 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.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Montedinove in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take 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), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
