We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Mongardino in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Mongardino before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
