Cheap Flights to Ospitaletto from HK$137

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Ospitaletto escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Ospitaletto, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray 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, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
