Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to San Secondo di Pinerolo could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to San Secondo di Pinerolo in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
