We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Lota before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step 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 a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Lota a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
