If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your vacation in Kanfanar.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kanfanar in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
