No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Montalto delle Marche holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Montalto delle Marche in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
