Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Valle De Villaverde escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Valle De Villaverde in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• 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 in the cabin.
