No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Stintino vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Stintino, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
