We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Ercolano before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Ercolano, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
