If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Calenzano.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Calenzano quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
