Cheap Flights to San Vito from HK$1,355

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your holiday in San Vito. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to San Vito a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product 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.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
