Flights to Mamoiada, Sardinia from

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Mamoiada. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Mamoiada, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
