If you're not prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Trezzano sul Naviglio.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Trezzano sul Naviglio a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
