• It’s easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you’ll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don’t have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don’t forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you’ll be stepping onto that plane to Amatitán in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don’t forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock 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 other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board.
