Cheap Flights to Madonna Dei Fornelli from HK$1,020

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Madonna Dei Fornelli could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Madonna Dei Fornelli in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often 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 safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
