Cheap Flights to Sesta Godano from HK$2,055

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Sesta Godano holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sesta Godano in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, coat, 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 your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
