Cheap Flights to Porto d'Ascoli from HK$309

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Porto d'Ascoli holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Porto d'Ascoli quick and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
