We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Azkoitia in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Azkoitia, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
