Cheap Flights to Fontana from HK$1,050

If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Fontana. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Fontana, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
