Cheap Flights to Altamura from HK$3,611

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Altamura vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Altamura in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Have your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
