We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and enjoying Parigi in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Parigi a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
