Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Passopisciaro could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Passopisciaro, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all 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. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
