Cheap Flights to Velo d'Astico from HK$501

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Velo d'Astico.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room 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:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Velo d'Astico, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
