Cheap Flights to San Vito dei Normanni from HK$5,276

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to San Vito dei Normanni could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and pack a pullover in case you get cold. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to San Vito dei Normanni a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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 baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
