Cheap Flights to Bernalda from HK$474

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Bernalda could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your highest priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bernalda before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• 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.
