We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Sirmione in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Sirmione a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
