We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a blast in Badalona in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Badalona in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
