Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Montornes del Valles vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cool. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Montornes del Valles in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
