Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Sobrado vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sobrado in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
