If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Legnano. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

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 avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Legnano a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, 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 as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
