If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Guadalajara de Buga.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Guadalajara de Buga, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
