Flights to Valganon, La Rioja from

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Valganon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs 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 fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Valganon in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
