We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and having a ball in Guitera-les-Baines in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Guitera-les-Baines quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
