We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring Getxo in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Getxo easy and painless. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
