Cheap Flights to Scopello from HK$337

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Scopello. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Scopello a pleasure. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
