No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Poggioferro escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Poggioferro a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
