Cheap Flights to Chiusaforte from HK$359

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Chiusaforte could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Chiusaforte a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
