Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Ascensión could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Ascensión, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
