Cheap Flights to Castelmezzano from HK$1,546

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Castelmezzano could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Castelmezzano easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
