Cheap Flights to Casalborgone from HK$1,115

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Casalborgone. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Casalborgone in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
