We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Orzinuovi in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Orzinuovi before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
