Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Brembilla escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Brembilla before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
