We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Pontevedra in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get cold. Opt for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pontevedra in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new hand and nail 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 zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
