Cheap Flights to Quartu Sant'Elena from HK$331

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Quartu Sant'Elena could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Quartu Sant'Elena in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
