Depending on where you’re coming from, your trip to Oñati could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Oñati a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
