We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Santa Sofia in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Santa Sofia, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
