Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to San Michele al Tagliamento could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to San Michele al Tagliamento a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
