No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your San Michele All'adige vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to San Michele All'adige easy and painless. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
