Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Calatabiano could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Calatabiano a breeze. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
