Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Alcala de Guadaira could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Alcala de Guadaira in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
