Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Monte Castello di Vibio could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Monte Castello di Vibio a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
