Cheap Flights to Viadana from HK$549

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Viadana could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Viadana a pleasure. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
