Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Licciana Nardi escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Licciana Nardi a breeze. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
