Cheap Flights to Cabiate from HK$243

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cabiate could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat 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 some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Cabiate easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
