Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Herguijuela could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Herguijuela in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
