Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Altea could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Altea in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
