We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and enjoying Boquete in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Boquete, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
