Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Sant Boi de Llobregat vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Sant Boi de Llobregat quick and painless. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
