We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a ball in San Cipirello in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to San Cipirello a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• 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 before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• 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 on board.
