Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Torreano could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Torreano, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
