If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Giove.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

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 sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is --- be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Giove, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
