We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Bormio in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Bormio a pleasure. Read through our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
