If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your vacation in Tuscania.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Tuscania a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
