If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your vacation in Vilafranca de Bonany.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Vilafranca de Bonany quick and painless. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
