Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Santa Olalla del Cala vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural fibers and pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Santa Olalla del Cala easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
