Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will help get your La Torre vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot 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 to help your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to La Torre in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
