We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Isla Mujeres in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Isla Mujeres in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually 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 single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
