If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Vila Facaia.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple --- be organized. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Vila Facaia, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
