We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Chiaramonte Gulfi in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Chiaramonte Gulfi a piece of cake. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
