Cheap Flights to Sondalo from HK$609

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your vacation in Sondalo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Sondalo a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
