Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to La Pobla de Massaluca could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to La Pobla de Massaluca quick and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
