Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will get your El Castell de Guadalest holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers 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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to El Castell de Guadalest easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be 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. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
