If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Tolmezzo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Tolmezzo a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
