If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Vadena.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Vadena, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
