Cheap Flights to Cavour from HK$716

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

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cavour in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
