Cheap Flights to Gatteo from HK$6,542

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your getaway in Gatteo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Gatteo a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
