We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and exploring Bassano del Grappa in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Bassano del Grappa a breeze. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• 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 all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
