If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your time in El Berrueco. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to El Berrueco a piece of cake. Below you'll find some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
