Cheap Flights to Casamassima from HK$1,167

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Casamassima.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Casamassima a breeze. Check out our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
