If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in El Cuyo.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out El Cuyo, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
