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

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Gerena before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear 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 items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
