No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Francavilla sul Sinni vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Francavilla sul Sinni in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take 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.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
