Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Subbiano could be a breeze 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 ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Subbiano, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• 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). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
