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

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out El Pozo del Esparto, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
