If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Asin de Broto.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and pack a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your luggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Asin de Broto easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
