We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and discovering Coatepec in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a sweater as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Coatepec a breeze. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
