Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your La Serna del Monte escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to La Serna del Monte a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
