Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Capoliveri could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Capoliveri in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
