No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Palma Real vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Palma Real, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take 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.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
