Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Castelfranco di Sopra vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Castelfranco di Sopra a pleasure. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
