No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Sant Josep de sa Talaia vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Sant Josep de sa Talaia quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
