We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Oppido Lucano in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Oppido Lucano, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. 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 arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
