No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy hints that will get your Morosaglia vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Morosaglia, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a 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 in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
