We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Tirano in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Tirano a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
