Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your La Coyotada escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to La Coyotada quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
