We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and enjoying Carlentini in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Carlentini, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
