Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy hints that will get your Porto Cervo escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Porto Cervo quick and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
