Cheap Flights to Rossano from CA $245

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your vacation in Rossano. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Rossano in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
