Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chiasso could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Chiasso, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
