Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Salir de Matos vacation started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Salir de Matos in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal 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.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
