Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to San Juan de la Arena could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown 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 hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to San Juan de la Arena before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
