We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in San Gemini before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights is also recommended.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to San Gemini in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
