We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and exploring El Soco before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to El Soco easy and painless. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? 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 baggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
