Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Typically, airport Wi-Fi is free and available.

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Tarbena vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

The long, narrow aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tarbena?

Being organized before your flight will make your trip to Tarbena a pleasure. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
