Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pietramurata could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Pietramurata a breeze. Read through our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
