We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and discovering Portell in next to no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. 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 shampoo 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Portell in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
