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 the airport and having a blast in Lamporecchio in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Lamporecchio, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
