Cheap Flights to Canossa

If you're not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Canossa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Canossa easy and painless. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
