We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Pietraperzia in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pietraperzia in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
