We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Torrelodones in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Torrelodones a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
