RM2,451 Cheap Flights to Lake Como

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Lake Como in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Lake Como in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
