Cheap Flights to Vigna di Valle from HK$364

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Vigna di Valle. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Vigna di Valle in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No 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 allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
