Cheap Flights to Scandicci from HK$874

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

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, 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 aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Scandicci quick and painless. Read through our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring 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 heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
