If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your vacation in Savignone.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Savignone a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
