Flights to Traversetolo, Emilia-Romagna from

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Traversetolo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Traversetolo before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise 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 safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
