We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of Ayacata in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Ayacata, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up 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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
