We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Riomaggiore in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Riomaggiore in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container 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 a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
