Flights to Santa Catalina de Somoza, Astorga from

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Santa Catalina de Somoza escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

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 the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Santa Catalina de Somoza in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
