If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your vacation in Brena y Marismas de Barbate Natural Park.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Brena y Marismas de Barbate Natural Park a pleasure. Check out our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• 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 need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
