Cheap Flights to Mantua from HK$1,566

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mantua could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Mantua, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
