Flights to Alcaniz, Aragon from

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your vacation in Alcaniz.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Alcaniz quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
