We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and exploring Tavarnuzze in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Tavarnuzze in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
