Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Rivolta d'Adda could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Rivolta d'Adda a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be 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 X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• 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.
