We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Gravina di Catania before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Gravina di Catania, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
