Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Peschiera Borromeo could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Peschiera Borromeo a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
