Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Livigno could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Livigno, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
