Cheap Flights to San Massimo from HK$1,487

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to San Massimo could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San Massimo in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
