If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in Pozzilli.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Pozzilli a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
