If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Calvia.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

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

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
