If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your vacation in Santa Fosca.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Santa Fosca a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
