Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Cabana de Bergantinos vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Cabana de Bergantinos in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
