We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Hacienda San José in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Hacienda San José a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
