• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you’ve got all the right stuff. Firstly, you’ll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don’t forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your trip to Solarino easy and painless. Below you’ll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• 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 carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you’ll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items can’t be taken on board. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
