We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Santa Paola before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Santa Paola, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
