Cheap Flights to Collepasso from HK$1,456

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Collepasso. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Collepasso in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
