Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Cassibile could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Cassibile a pleasure. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking 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 or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
