No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Viguí vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Viguí before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• 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.
