Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to San Benedetto Val di Sambro could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to San Benedetto Val di Sambro a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
