Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Calonge de Segarra could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Calonge de Segarra easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
