We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Rutigliano in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rutigliano in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
