We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Cabella Ligure in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Cabella Ligure in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
