If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your vacation in Vedano al Lambro.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Vedano al Lambro a breeze. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
