If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your vacation in Las Quintanillas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Las Quintanillas easy and painless. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. 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, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
