Cheap Flights to Capri from HK$458

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy hints that will get your Capri vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Capri quick and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
