Cheap Flights to Calenzana from HK$2,154

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Calenzana holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Calenzana in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
