Cheap Flights to Pordenone from HK$224

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Pordenone in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Pordenone a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy 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 phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
