Cheap Flights to Bagheria from HK$234

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Bagheria. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Bagheria a breeze. We've compiled some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
