Cheap Flights to Tende from HK$283

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your Tende holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tende in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
