If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Álvaro Obregón. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Álvaro Obregón easy and painless. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
