Cheap Flights to Monte San Biagio from HK$270

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Monte San Biagio.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Monte San Biagio, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
