Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Bergamo could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It’s easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you’ll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z’s, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Bergamo before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Have your travel documents and ID handy. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, 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 before 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.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won’t allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
