Cheap Flights to Monforte San Giorgio from HK$2,133

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Monforte San Giorgio. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner 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 treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Monforte San Giorgio a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets 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 soon enough.
• Travelling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
