Cheap Flights to Pianiga from HK$2,645

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Pianiga in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pianiga before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
