Cheap Flights to San Cataldo from HK$762

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your San Cataldo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to San Cataldo in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
