Cheap Flights to Aci San Filippo from HK$170

If you're not prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Aci San Filippo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Aci San Filippo, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
