Cheap Flights to Bolzano Vicentino from HK$2,556

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will get your Bolzano Vicentino holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bolzano Vicentino in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
