Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pedralba could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Pedralba in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring 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.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
