Cheap Flights to Stelvio from HK$4,288

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Stelvio escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Stelvio easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
