Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chocholá could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cool in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chocholá in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
