Cheap Flights to Vernazza from HK$3,573

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Vernazza in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Vernazza in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
