Cheap Flights to Sant'Elmo from HK$1,290

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Sant'Elmo in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Sant'Elmo a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
