Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Concorezzo vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Concorezzo quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
