If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Cavareno.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Cavareno a breeze. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
