We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Crema before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks may also help.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Crema a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
