Cheap Flights to Latisana from HK$1,776

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Latisana holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Latisana in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
