Do you have any tips for my flight to Rome?

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Rome in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Rome?

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rome before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
