Cheap Flights to Sabaudia from HK$343

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sabaudia could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before your flight can make your trip to Sabaudia a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
