Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Capo Mannu could be completely stress-free or it could go 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:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Capo Mannu in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• 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 on board.
