Flights to San José de Ocune, Cumaribo from

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to San José de Ocune could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

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 suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out San José de Ocune, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
