Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Roccamena 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. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Roccamena, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
