If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your time in Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sant'Ambrogio di Valpolicella in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. 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 phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good 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.
