Cheap Flights to Prato from HK$473

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Prato in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Prato before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
