If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Valle de Guadalupe.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Valle de Guadalupe a breeze. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
