Cheap Flights to Montellano from HK$1,452

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Montellano.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Montellano in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• 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 items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
