Cheap Flights to Rivalta di Torino from HK$1,203

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Rivalta di Torino. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Rivalta di Torino easy and painless. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
