Cheap Flights to Itea from HK$232

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Itea in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Itea in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
