If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your vacation in Aiello del Friuli. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Aiello del Friuli easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes 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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
