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

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Montcada I Reixac in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your 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 before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
