Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Gemmano vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. 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 later.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Gemmano, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
