Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sosua Abajo could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Sosua Abajo, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
