We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Valldemossa in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Valldemossa in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
