We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and exploring Valenza in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Valenza in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
