If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Figline e Incisa Valdarno.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Figline e Incisa Valdarno in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
