Cheap Flights to Baja Sardinia from HK$404

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Baja Sardinia escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Baja Sardinia before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
