Cheap Flights to Bernate Ticino from HK$334

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Bernate Ticino escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Bernate Ticino a breeze. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
