We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a blast in Socorro in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Socorro before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
