Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Taurano could be completely stress-free or it could drag 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:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Taurano in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
