Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Horta de Sant Joan vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Horta de Sant Joan, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger 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 a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
