If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in Cieza. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Cieza a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
