If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your vacation in Rocafort de Queralt. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rocafort de Queralt in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
