Cheap Flights to Trani from HK$3,176

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Trani holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Trani, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? 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 clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
