We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Guzmán before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Guzmán, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
