If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Chacaltianguis. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chacaltianguis in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
