Cheap Flights to Quartu Sant'Elena from HK$451

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Quartu Sant'Elena vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Quartu Sant'Elena a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
