Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Salvaterra de Mino could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Salvaterra de Mino in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
