Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Terricciola vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Terricciola, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
