If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Capdepera.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Capdepera in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• 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-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional 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.
