Cheap Flights to Gabiano from HK$170

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Gabiano holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Gabiano, here you come:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• 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 before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
