We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Santo Antonio in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Santo Antonio, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
