Cheap Flights to Mezzocorona from HK$1,749

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mezzocorona could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Mezzocorona a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
