Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Chihuahua vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Chihuahua quick and painless. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
