We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in El Perello in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to El Perello in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
