Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to San Martin de las Pirámides could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and pack a sweater just in case you get chilly. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to San Martin de las Pirámides a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• 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 heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
