If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Cangas del Narcea.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Cangas del Narcea quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
