Cheap Flights to San Cataldo from HK$409

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to San Cataldo could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out San Cataldo, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
