No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Sari-Solenzara vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sari-Solenzara in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
