• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Zapopan before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
