Cheap Flights to Canzo from HK$332

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Canzo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Canzo in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
