Cheap Flights to Piaggine from HK$3,575

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Piaggine could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Piaggine in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
