Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Montegrossi vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a smart option.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Montegrossi a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
