Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Giurdignano vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, 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 seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Giurdignano in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
