Flights to Mancini, Castellalto from

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mancini could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and remember to pack a jacket just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mancini in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
