Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Chaclacayo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chaclacayo before you know it. 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 inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, 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-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
