Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mesagne could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Mesagne a breeze. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
