• Air travel can be a great experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Barbariga easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
