Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Bagnaia escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bagnaia in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
