Cheap Flights to Rapallo from HK$667

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Rapallo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Rapallo in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
