We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a ball in San Biagio Platani before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to San Biagio Platani in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
