Cheap Flights to Bosconia from HK$1,427

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bosconia could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Bosconia a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
