If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your getaway in Santa Eulalia de Oscos.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cool. Always go with well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Santa Eulalia de Oscos in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
