Cheap Flights to Viggiano from HK$759

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy hints that will help get your Viggiano holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel 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. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Viggiano a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
