Do you have any tips for my flight to Madrid?
Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Madrid could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Madrid?
Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Madrid a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
  • Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often 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 a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
