Cheap Flights to Piana from HK$637

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Piana vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Piana, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
