Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Es Calo vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Es Calo easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
