Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cervignano del Friuli could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Cervignano del Friuli, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
