Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Achacachi vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Achacachi easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
