Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Es Canutells escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Es Canutells quick and painless. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
