Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Roccafiorita could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Roccafiorita before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
