We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Pieve Fosciana in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pieve Fosciana in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
