Cheap Flights to Funtana from HK$6,211

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Funtana escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Funtana in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
