We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a blast in Sorento in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Sorento, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
