Cheap Flights to Tortora from HK$1,440

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will help get your Tortora vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Tortora, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
