Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your San Felipe Jalapa de Diaz escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out San Felipe Jalapa de Diaz, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container 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 bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
