We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and exploring Mandatoriccio in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mandatoriccio before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
