• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to La Ligua a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
