Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Panzano in Chianti could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Panzano in Chianti a piece of cake. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
