We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Cascina before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Cascina, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
