Cheap Flights to Montepagano from CA $272

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Montepagano vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Montepagano in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop 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 usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
