Cheap Flights to Sarnonico from HK$425

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Sarnonico.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Sarnonico in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
