• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a sweater just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Roccapalumba a breeze. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
