Cheap Flights to Castelpetroso from HK$459

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Castelpetroso could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily 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 catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Castelpetroso in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
