Cheap Flights to Gioia del Colle from HK$220

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Gioia del Colle in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Gioia del Colle easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product 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-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
