We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Castiglione della Pescaia in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Castiglione della Pescaia in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
