Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Fuengirola could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Fuengirola a pleasure. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
