Cheap Flights to Aquileia from HK$1,688

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Aquileia could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Aquileia in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
