Cheap Flights to Calliano from HK$976

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Calliano holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Calliano easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
