Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Montecchio vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Montecchio before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
