Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Amandola could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Amandola quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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.
