Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Filicudi Porto could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Filicudi Porto, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
