Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chinú could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Chinú, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
