Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Montefredente could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Montefredente, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
