We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Ravenna in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Ravenna, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
