Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Agua-Garcia could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, 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 aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Agua-Garcia, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
