No matter where you’re coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you’ve prepared well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Scopello escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You’ll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can’t come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• It’s likely you’ve heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Scopello in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They’re the first things you’ll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you’re less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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 and will be confiscated.
