We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Sant Cugat del Valles before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Sant Cugat del Valles, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
