If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your vacation in Biasca. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Biasca in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, 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 zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
