Cheap Flights to Alvito from HK$1,041

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Alvito holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Alvito a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
