Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Jiquilpan de Juárez escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Jiquilpan de Juárez a breeze. Read through our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
