We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Rovetta before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Rovetta, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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 heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
