Cheap Flights to Procida from HK$449

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Procida escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Procida easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
