If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Saltillo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Saltillo a piece of cake. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
