We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a ball in Fondotoce in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Fondotoce easy and painless. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
