Cheap Flights to Ollastra from HK$564

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Ollastra in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel 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.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ollastra in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
