We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Mattarello in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Mattarello quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
