Cheap Flights to Varigotti from HK$710

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Varigotti could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Varigotti in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
