Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Marciano della Chiana could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel 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 your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Marciano della Chiana a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
