Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Casariche escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Casariche in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
