No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your Goriano Sicoli vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Goriano Sicoli easy and painless. Here are some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely 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.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
