We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Macinaggio in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Macinaggio easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal 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 laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
