We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Paterno Calabro before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Paterno Calabro, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear 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 items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
