No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will get your La Aldea de San Nicolás vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out La Aldea de San Nicolás, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
