Cheap Flights to Montemerano from HK$474

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Montemerano escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Montemerano, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. 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 as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
