Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Ricco del Golfo di Spezia escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable 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:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Ricco del Golfo di Spezia easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
