We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Segovia in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Segovia in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
