Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Alpujarra De La Sierra could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Alpujarra De La Sierra a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. 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 tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
