Cheap Flights to Maniago from HK$484

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Maniago could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries 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 restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Maniago, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
