We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and having a ball in Sannicola in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Sannicola quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
