We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Xalapa in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Xalapa, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
