If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Vega de Espinareda.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols 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:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Vega de Espinareda, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
