We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Simbario in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Simbario in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
