We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and enjoying Lipari before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Lipari, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
