If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Aidone.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Aidone a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
