Flights to Orellana la Vieja, Extremadura from

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Orellana la Vieja.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Orellana la Vieja easy and painless. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
