• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Playa de S'Estanyol quick and painless. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
