We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Bolzano in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Bolzano, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
