Cheap Flights to Vico Equense from HK$515

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Vico Equense holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Vico Equense in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
