Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Riofrio could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Riofrio, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• 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). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
