If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Presa Cajon de Pena. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Presa Cajon de Pena quick and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
