Cheap Flights to Casinalbo from HK$1,089

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Casinalbo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy 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 improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Casinalbo a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• 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 your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
