Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Poggiolo escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Poggiolo, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
