We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Capizzi in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

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 nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before your flight will make your getaway to Capizzi a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
